Thursday, July 31, 2025 - The Kwara State High court Ilorin has sentenced Abdulrahman Bello to d3ath by hanging for killing Tetundeh Hafsoh Lawal, a final year student of the College of Education, Ilorin.
Delivering her judgement on Thursday, July 31, 2025, Justice Hannah Ajayi,
however, set free four other defendants and cleared them of any
wrongdoings.
Charged with five count, the judge started by exonerating the four out of
the five defendants namely Ahmed Abdulwasiu, Jamiu Uthman, Suleiman Muyideen
and Abdulrahman Jamiu of any complicity and therefore set them free of taking
part in the d3ath of the victim Hafsoh Lawal.
Delivering judgment on the main culprit, Abdulrahman Bello, Justice Hannah
Ahayi described the killing of Hafsoh as cruel, wicked, and an extreme display
of human wickedness.
She said all evidence proved that Hafsoh was k!lled in order to be used
for money ritual and trading in human spare parts.
His confession of love and plan to marry her, the judge noted, are all
concocted lies to lure her to his residence in order to k!ll her.
She therefore sentenced Abdulrahman Bello to d3ath by hanging while
setting free the other four suspects not guilty.
The offence was said to have been committed on February 10, 2025, at
Olunlade area Ilorin.
The victim was said to have been invited by her boyfriend Abdulrahman
Bello, who k!lled and dismembered her body in his room after having s3x with
her.
Upon being arrested and interrogated, the palm of the deceased and a
bottle filled with blood and personal belongings of the d3ad were found in
Bello’s room.
Also found in his room was a cutlass used in dismembering the deceased’s
body.
Other parts of her decomposed body were later found at a nearby dumpsite
in Ilorin.
